    Here's something for those who like vintage Highland dress

    Highland Threads is something of a shop-window for small regional musems in Scotland - essentially the Highlands - with some nice historic items on display.

    This -

    is a rather fine example of a Balmoral bonnet, and the video shows excellent detail of its construction and form. I only wish the inside could be seen.

    The rear ribbon attachement method is exactly the the same as that on my own bonnet - which is probably not far off in age - but I have mine tied in a bow Highland-style, rather than trailing - which is said to the be traditional Lowland mode.

    Highland Threads has plenty to inspire, and could make up a comprehensive list for where to visit to see real Highland history and culture.
